Al recounts the story of a 19th century mobster named Stefan Scaturo who buried a suitcase full of cash in their backyard before he was sent to prison. The task of finding the treasure falls on the Bundy family, who set out with shovels and metal detectors to dig up their backyard.

Meanwhile, next door neighbor Marcy Rhoades desperately wants the Bundys to lose their home, as she is tired of living next door to them and their constant loud activities.

As the Bundy family digs up their backyard, Kelley Bundy complains about the work and leaves to go to the mall. Bud Bundy begins to entertain the idea of investing in strip clubs, with the claim that it is the only industry that is recession-proof.

Al refuses, stating that the treasure is their only hope of saving their home and providing for their family.

With time running out, the Bundys enlist the help of a psychic to locate the money. However, the psychic is a fraud and walks away with all of the money that the Bundys had left to pay for her services. With nothing to show for their efforts, the family faces the possibility of losing their home.
